Monday, October 04, 2010
Former Democratic primary rival Steven Costantino has endorsed Angel Taveras for mayor of Providence, according to the Taveras campaign.
"Angel Taveras recognizes the primary responsibilities of our next mayor are to put residents back to work and grow our economy," said Costantino. "Angel's economic plan - focused on retaining and supporting existing businesses, recruiting new investments to the capital city and reforming the bureaucratic red tape that hinders so many businesses - is smart and sensible. I am confident that Angel's leadership on the economy will move Providence forward and make our city even stronger."
He continued: "Providence is facing tough times and needs a mayor who will bring people together to find solutions to our city's toughest problems. I have a great deal of respect for Angel and know he will be tireless in his pursuit to ensure our residents have pride in their city. It is imperative that all of us work together to solve the problems facing our city and make Providence great. I have offered my support and I urge the voters of Providence to give Angel Tavares their valued vote on Nov. 2."
